Sancerre Comtesse - From 50-75 year old vines located in the sweet spot of the Mont Damnés vineyard (bottom of the slope, near Clos La Neore of Vatan), this is often the most powerful wine from Boulay's lineup. Vintage 2005 was the inaugural release. Depsite it's power it is a deeply nuanced wine. The aromas are fresh and lightly perfumed, as though some hours ago an elegantly dressed perfume had wafted by some hours ago.
The standout characteristic of this wine is its intense river minerality. It needs air after opening and is a waste of your time if it is too cold. At proper temperature it's lightly flinty, steely, straw, underripe pineapple, honey suckle, and honey dew melon and sings for mineral driven foods like oysters, scallops, and soft, young goat cheese.
